E4500 and rammiez overclocking.......?

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 24 Feb 2008, 15:06

Ahoy peeps....

Bought me a "new" setup some time ago:

- E4500
- Asus P5K
- Mushkin 4-5-5-12

Now, I'm itching to OC this baby, but I'm struggling a bit since this is my first Intel machine and I don't quite know what is "normal."

Here are my q's:

-->> What is the highest volt safe for 24/7 use?

-->> The volts given by my bios is much lower than that shown by monitoring software?

-->> What is the highest safe temps under load?

-->> What can I expect to get out of my ram?? And what volts are safe for my ram? Here is a link: http://www.prophecy.co.za/mushkin-99656 ... 23489.html

-->> What can I expect to get out of my CPU for 24/7 use? I've gotten it stable at 2.8ghz, but then voltage needs to be changed. It feels a bit early from what I've read? Does this mean I have a "bad" cpu?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

(Darn it sounds all formal

vDroop is the difference between the idle voltage, and the voltage when the CPU is under load. Not what you set it to and what it actually is

haha k sweet... mayb i should know what things are before asking stupid questions....

but thanks

Oh yeah, and never ever trust Software for voltage readings

If you wanna know what they are, get a multimeter, google your motherboard's voltage measuring points and hey! Presto

1. 1.425v for that chip.

2. That doesn't sound right. Whip out the dmm and be certain

3. 55c on cores max.

4. 2.1v - 500mhz @ cas5

5. 3.2 - 3.6ghz. No it doesn't, just different

Some scale better than others with v, some are good @ low v and bad in comparison @ high v.

Thanks big time, this is exactly what I was looking for. I'll give everything a go and let you know.

Just keep pushing man

What cooling?

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 24 Feb 2008, 17:56

Lol a Zalman 7700cu in a tsunami case... Afraid I can't afford other cooling atm. I'm now 100% stable @ 3.0ghz @ 3.25V, but temps go up to about 57-58 degrees after 30min with OCCT. I think it's alright, cuz under normal usage it doesn't seem to go above 55, but ya, I'm sorta stuck here it seems? For now tho... I'll get better cooling some time. Also, I hav some really dodgy heatpaste on here atm, need to get proper AS or something ASAP.

I'll try pushing the ram a bit now...

OCCT is really hot man. Try a 8m run of suppi

TIM could help hey, temps should be a little better.

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 24 Feb 2008, 18:04

Ah sweet... I was expecting you to tell me I'm an idiot for not doing dual Orthos overnight after every mhz or something

.

I'll try the suppi now.

Ram = 450mhz @ 5-5-5-18... test 1, commencing

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 24 Feb 2008, 18:12

Just did 8m suppi... Now the temps don't even touch 50. 47 max, but only briefly. Lies at around 45. Ram seems to be stable.

Are the temps I get frm doing this to be trusted?

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 24 Feb 2008, 18:32

5-5-5-10 should work too btw
That's fine, winter you can take it far higher. For benches, stay under 60 - 65 tho

I.e not 24/7

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 24 Feb 2008, 19:02

Sweet. Thanks a lot. Going to try 5-5-5-10 now... And then push the mhz

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 25 Feb 2008, 19:05

Are there any negatives to running my ram DDR1000 @ 2.1v 24/7???

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 25 Feb 2008, 19:12

Um they might be warmer?

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 25 Feb 2008, 19:14

*Kewl superhero voice booming frm seemingly nowhere:*

"THANK YOU, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

But AFAIK there's no way to measure ram temps? What i meant was, could the speeds do them any harm? Soz for noob q...

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 25 Feb 2008, 19:24

Um, my obvious post was implying that there isn't any realistic downside. Thanks dr sarcasm.

pienkie · Post by **pienkie** » 25 Feb 2008, 20:11

Oh... In that case, sweet, thanks.
